County Library Board of Trustees, opened the October meeting of the Board by engaging in an assessment of the Board s performance. He noted that the size of the collection and the number of subscribers has increase significantly since the library moved from Washington in 1991, and he allowed that I don't think that we've done everything the President could do to take care . .
Mr. Hartline said that the number of subscribers had increased from 1,500 to 4,000 in the years since the move to the new location, and that the collection had grown from 15,000 to approximately 26,000 items. "We should have done a lot of things to recognize this load," he said, but I don't think we should be criticized—the users of the library are quite vocal in their support."
He suggested that the growth "calls for a protocol that encompasses the duties" so that each person knows what his or her job is, how the job is to be performed, and what .funds ai*> available for the job.
President Hartline praised the efforts of past Treasurer Helen Platt and current Treasurer Mary Hutchinson-Brown, but said that next year the Board "would need to come up with a computer program to handle the bookkeeping and accounting."
Three library trustees—John Hartline, Helen Platt and Joy Sloane— will not return in 2001, and Mr. Hartline recommended that the Personnel Committee work on identifying candidates to replace the outgoing trustees, and that the Policy Committee investigate the trustees’ term limitation and "see about changing that."
